\nCapsicum chinense<\/strong><\/em>
\nAn explosion of color, sweetness\u2026 and striped surprises!<\/em><\/p>\n

\n

\ud83d\udcdc History & Origin<\/h2>\n

The Tangerine Tiger pepper<\/strong> is a rare and playful chinense<\/em> variety developed to combine visual appeal, productivity, and gentle heat. Its small fruits\u2014sometimes whimsically shaped\u2014ripen to a vivid orange adorned with subtle red striping at full maturity, evoking the coat of a mandarin-colored tiger. While their wild look suggests intense heat, these little gems are surprisingly mild<\/strong>, ranging from 100 to 1,000 Scoville units<\/strong>\u2014perfect for those who enjoy aromatic peppers without the burn.<\/p>\n

Originating from a selective North American cross, this variety has gained popularity in urban gardens and farmers\u2019 markets<\/strong> for its fruity flavor, bright color, and excellent yields.<\/p>\n

    \ud83d\udca1 Northern tip<\/strong>
    \nIn Quebec climates, early indoor sowing with a heat mat is strongly recommended to ensure a good harvest. A greenhouse, mini-greenhouse, or protective cover can extend fruiting into autumn.<\/p>\n

    \n
